Chemical Structure

2-Bromo-3-hydroxy-5-methoxybenzaldehyde CAS 108791-60-2 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 2-Bromo-3-hydroxy-5-methoxybenzaldehyde is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies 2-Bromo-3-hydroxy-5-methoxybenzaldehyde (CAS 108791-60-2), a certified reference material (molecular formula C8H7BrO3, MW 231.04 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

2-Bromo-3-hydroxy-5-methoxybenzaldehyde (C8H7BrO3) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system. It is notably hygroscopic, halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

This reference standard is suitable for quantitative analysis on major chromatographic platforms including HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, and GC-MS, serving as an external calibration standard or a system suitability test reference material.

CATO manufactures 2-Bromo-3-hydroxy-5-methoxybenzaldehyde under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
